6 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
7 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
8 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
9 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
10 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
11 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
12 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
13 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
16 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
17 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
18 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
20 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
21 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
22 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
23 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
26 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
27 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
30 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
31 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
34 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
37 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
38 the content type and content length if available.
40 Refactoring / optimizations:
41 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
42 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
43 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
44 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
45 screen as easy to write.
46 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
47 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
48 in parameter filtering (for example).
49 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
50 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
51 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
52 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
53 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
56 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
57 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
58 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
59 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
61 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
64 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
65 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
67 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
70 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
71 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
73 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
76 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
77 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
78 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
79 which should not be encoded.
80 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
81 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
83 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
84 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
85 any set of args/captures.
87 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
88 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
90 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
94 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
96 - Various minor typo fixes.
99 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
101 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
104 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
105 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
106 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
109 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
110 - Clarify documentation about debug
113 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
114 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
115 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
117 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
120 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
121 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
125 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
126 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
128 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
129 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
130 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
131 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
132 argv key in the options hash.
133 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
134 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
135 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
136 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
138 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
142 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
143 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
144 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
145 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
146 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
148 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
152 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
153 encoding test controller.
155 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
157 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
158 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
159 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
160 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
162 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
163 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
164 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
165 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
166 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
168 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
172 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
173 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
174 less packed with information of no use.
178 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
180 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
182 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
183 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
184 the single character '0'.
185 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
188 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
189 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
190 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
192 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
194 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
195 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
196 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
197 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
198 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
199 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
200 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
201 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
202 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
203 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
204 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
205 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
207 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
208 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
210 Refactoring / cleanups:
211 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
212 (and then skipped) normally.
215 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
217 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
220 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
221 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
222 on the old behaviour.
224 Refactoring / cleanups:
225 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
226 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
228 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
231 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
232 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
233 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
234 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
235 as there is no recommended alternative.
236 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
237 fallback for fully qualified component names.
238 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
239 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
240 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
241 startup, rather than with the first hit.
242 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
243 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
244 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
245 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
246 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
247 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
248 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
249 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
252 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
253 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
254 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
255 deprecated and causes warnings).
256 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
257 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
258 in the correct order.
259 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
261 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
262 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
263 is deprecated (RT#51489)
266 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
267 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
268 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
269 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
270 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
272 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
273 exception classes need to implement.
274 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
275 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
278 Refactoring / cleanups:
279 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
280 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
281 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
282 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
283 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
284 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
285 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
287 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
290 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
291 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
292 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
293 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
295 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
296 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
297 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
300 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
301 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
304 Refactoring / cleanups:
305 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
306 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
307 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
308 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
309 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
311 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
314 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
315 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
316 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
317 now loaded at most once + tests.
318 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
319 is returned to 'actions'.
320 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
321 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
323 Refactoring / cleanups:
324 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
325 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
328 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
329 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
330 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
332 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
335 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
336 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
339 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
342 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
343 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
344 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
346 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
349 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
350 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
351 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
353 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
356 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
357 application class immutable without that option.
358 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
359 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
361 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
362 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
363 (hopefully) future versions.
364 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
365 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
367 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
369 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
370 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
371 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
372 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
373 Request-URI of the Request-Line
375 Refactoring / cleanups:
376 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
377 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
378 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
379 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
380 known issues with 5.8.3.
381 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
382 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
385 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
386 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
387 for the controller namespace
388 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
389 expand_component_module (rjbs)
390 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
391 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
392 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
393 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
395 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
396 frontend port (jshirley)
397 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
401 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
402 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
403 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
404 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
407 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
410 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
411 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
412 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
414 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
415 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
416 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
417 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
418 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
419 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
423 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
424 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
425 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
428 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
431 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
432 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
434 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
435 in some environments.
436 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
437 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
438 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
439 except works correctly with closures.
440 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
441 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
442 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
444 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
445 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
446 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
449 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
450 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
451 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
452 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
453 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
454 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
456 Refactoring / cleanups:
457 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
458 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
459 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
460 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
462 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
463 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
464 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
466 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
467 again in Catalyst::Test
469 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
472 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
473 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
476 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
479 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
480 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
481 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
483 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
486 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
487 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
490 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
491 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
495 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
496 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
497 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
498 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
499 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
501 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
502 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
503 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
504 controller naming. (random)
505 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
506 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
507 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
508 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
509 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
511 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
513 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
514 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
515 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
517 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
518 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
519 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
520 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
521 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
522 to report 'Unknown Error'
523 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
524 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
525 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
526 parse_on_demand is on
528 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
529 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
530 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
531 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
532 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from
533 MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast.
534 - Fix classes without metaclasses restarting, when not using
535 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
536 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
538 - Turn off test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
539 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
540 Test::Aggregate is available.
541 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
542 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
543 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
544 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
545 disabling functionality from base controllers.
546 - Bump HTTP::Request::AsCGI dependency to avoid broken version
547 - Bump Moose dependency to latest version to fix metaclass
548 incompatibility issues in some cases.
549 - Additional tests for setup_stats method.
550 - Fix log levels in Catalyst::Log to be properly additive.
551 - Fix RT#43375 by sorting results before testing them
552 - Fixes for uri_for_action when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex
553 + tests from RT#39369 (norbi)
554 - Partial rewrite and reoganisation of the C3 docs in
555 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
556 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
557 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
558 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
559 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
561 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
562 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
563 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
564 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
565 configuration in your application.
567 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
568 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
569 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
571 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
572 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class
574 - Add backwards compatibility method for Catalyst::Log->body, which
575 has been made private
576 - Fix so that calling $c->req->parameters(undef) does not flatten
577 the request parameters with undef + test
578 - Fix so that width of table of unattached actions for debugging
579 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width
581 - Fix warning message about linearized @ISA in Catalyst::Component
583 - Require MX::MethodAttributes 0.06 to avoid issues with saying
584 use base 'Catalyst::Controller'; use Moose; losing actions
585 - Fix all of's typos in ::Upgrading and ::Delta (hobbs)
587 5.80001 2009-04-18 22:18
588 - Don't inline the constructor for Catalyst::Log to avoid a
589 warning on recent Moose versions.
590 - Add delta documentation
591 - Clean up recursion errors
592 - Extra cross links in dispatch types POD (Ian Wells)
593 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
595 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
596 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
598 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
599 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
600 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
601 tries to chain to itself
603 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
604 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
605 - Tests for this (radek)
606 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
607 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
608 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
609 - Tests for this (radek)
610 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
611 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)
612 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)
613 - Change the warning when you have conflicting components to
615 - Move NEXT use and testing deprecated features out to its own
616 test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with
618 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme
620 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
621 in production versions
622 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
623 the correct metaclass
624 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
625 the restarter process
626 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
627 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
629 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
630 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
631 immutable restart correctly.
633 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
634 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm
635 - Clarify that request arguments aren't unescaped automatically
636 (Simon Bertrang) (Closes RT#41153)
637 - Don't require C3 for the MRO test
638 - Bump MX::Emulate::CAF prereq to support list assignment
639 - Remove useless column in chained action debug table.
640 - namespace::clean related cleanups
641 - Import related cleanups and consistency fixes
642 - Fix test suite TestApp /dump/env action
643 - Add $res->code as alias for $res->status
644 - Make Catalyst::ClassData compatible with the latest Class::MOP::Class
645 changes. Also depend on the latest Class::MOP.
646 - Add $c->uri_for_action method.
647 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead.
648 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action
649 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
650 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
651 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
652 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
653 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
655 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
656 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
657 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex
660 - Use of deprecated Catalyst::Base now warns.
663 5.8000_06 2009-02-04 21:00
664 - Disallow writing to config after setup
665 - Disallow calling setup more than once

694 - Fix request argumentss getting corrupted if you override the
695 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
696 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL)
697 - Fix calling use Catalyst::Test 'MyApp' 'foo' which used to work,

709 - Add backwards compatibility alias methods for private attributes on
710 Catalyst::Dispatcher which used to be public. Needed by
711 Catalyst::Plugin::Server and Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL
712 - Fix return value of $c->req->body, which delegates to the body
713 method on the requests HTTP::Body instance
715 - Fix calling $c->req->body from inside an overridden prepare_action
716 method in a plugin, as used by Catalyst::Plugin::Server
718 - Fix assignment to Catalyst::Dispatcher's preload_dispatch_types and
719 postload_dispatch_types attributes - assigning a list should later

741 to force new version which fixes a lot of plugins
742 - Make log levels additive, and add documentation and tests
743 for the setup_log method, which previously had none.
744 Sewn together by from two patches provided by David E. Wheeler
745 - Switch an around 'new' in Catalyst::Controller to a BUILDARGS
746 method as it's much neater and more obvious what is going on

867 - Refactored component resolution (component(), models(), model(), et al). We now
868 throw warnings for two reasons:
869 1) model() or view() was called with no arguments, and two results are returned
870 -- set default_(model|view), current_(model|view) or current_(model|view)_instance

873 fallback wherein a result is returned -- if you really want to search, call the
874 method with a regex as the argument

914 shell errors. (Aristotle Pagaltzis, Chisel Wright)
916 5.7011 2007-10-18 20:40:00
917 - Allow multiple restart directories and added option to follow
918 symlinks in the HTTP::Restarter engine (Sebastian Willert)
919 - Fixed t/optional_http-server-restart.t so it actually tests
